Description

This book explores the interplay between language, culture and identity in adolescents' interactions in English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). It investigates the communicative strategies of secondary school students taking part in a German-Tanzanian exchange and evaluates the implications for teaching and learning. ELF is revealed as a transcultural space where various linguacultural influences meet and merge in processes of negotiating meaning, rapport and identity. The volume breaks new ground in that it presents, for the first time, a book-length investigation of adolescents' use of ELF. Moreover, it explores ELF in an African-European setting, which has received little attention in ELF research so far.
